Hello, i'am Matthias,

i have tried to activate two grafic cards to work with two monitors. 
I'am using XFree86 4.xx and i used a card with nvidia Chipset (nv 
driver - AGP) and one with from trident (trident driver - PCI).

Sorry, but my english is very bad - i hope everyone can understand 
me.

The Xinerama mode works fine with this Configuration but i want to 
have a login (XDM,KDM,..) wthin every monitor.
I have created two serverlayouts within XF86Config and started 
them with a entry within the Xservers file with the option "-layout 
Layoutname". Every layout has a own mouse but the keyboard is 
assigned to both because i have only one. 

(Secundary Question : Is there any possibility to connect more 
then one keyboard to the PC ?)

I can start this configuration and i have a login on every Screen but 
not at the same Time. Alt+Ctrl+F7 enables one and F8 the other 
monitor. The not enabled one is blank or with undefined content. 
the textconsoles (F1 - F6) somitimes dont work after starting this 
configuration - both screens are blank or unsynchronized.

I think this is a problem with the vt - virtual console service. vt 
controls both cards but i shouldt control only one card. The other 
card should display the X-Screen all the times. I know there is a 
problem with assigning the keyboard to a screen - is it possible to 
switch the keyboard with F7,F8 without disabling the screens of 
the assigned cards ?

Has anyone an idea to get a login within two monitors at the same 
time or only run two servers (one without keyboard) an two cards 
with displaying his screens at the same time ?

Thanks for all helpers,
Matthias
